Cottage Industry
Dirk Dieter, an industrial and exhibit designer, paid $101,000 in 1999 for a 250-square-foot house built on a triangular lot at the end of a dead-end street in Pacifica. Built in 1954, the little house was probably a warming shed for local fishermen, but Dieter’s modest yet dramatic renovation has transformed the house into a marvel of space-saving design and inspired him to formulate strategies and design furniture for streamlined living. Less than eight years after Dieter bought and renovated it, the little house was appraised at $375,000.
